James Kirwan is Professor of Philosophy, Department of Cross-Cultural Studies, Kansai University, Osaka, Japan.
The Futility of Philosophical Ethics is a timely and fresh approach
to many topics in ethics. James Kirwan takes our moral responses
and feelings as central parts of our moral lives in a way that
upends most modern moral philosophy. It is a challenging book that
deserves a wide readership.
